I'm looking around @semble.so and I love it. It'll be powerful at scale and so good for finding fresh research. I'm done with the 'town square' and want to hang in the town library. #NotAnAd Where's the tip jar? loom.com/share/8bf8ab18ee6c4135bd607ccโฆ

Semble (@semble.so)
Social knowledge network for your research trails by @cosmik.network ๐ https://semble.so/
Semble โ A social knowledge network for research
Follow your peers' research trails. Surface and discover new connections. Built on ATProto so you own your data.

If you havenโt seen it yet the new @aworkinglibrary.com website is dope aworkinglibrary.com Lots of things to love. A few that stand out to me: - It's _fast_ - Every page has a โfooterโ thatโs essentially just the home page โ enthralled by this idea. - โค๏ธ the treatment for citations on post pagโฆ
Wragge Labs
A compilation of things I've built over the last 30 years to help people see and use the online collections of libraries, archives, and museums.
Semble โ Make sense of the web, together
A place for mapping the web, connecting ideas, and building shared knowledge.
Intrigued by @semble.so as a potential research tool for creatives as well as encouraging deeper thinking, making connections between ideas. For me, I can see using it alongside @obsidian.md (which I use similarly, but for my private use). Also love how responsive the developers are to questions.
I'm only JUST starting to explore @semble.so as a potential research tool but if anyone is curious to follow (I will be making many missteps, just to warn you ๐), you can find my Collections at semble.so/profile/debbieohi.com/collectโฆ

semble.soHmmm, I was expecting semble.so to be something different I think I was expecting the to see a social backlink aggregator and exploration tool, but right now it seems more like social bookmarks
The articles that people are bookmarking on @semble.so are high quality. It's quickly becoming my go to place to consume dev content
Okay... This looks very cool. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป For researchers and reporters looking to find and collate material from across the web, imagine a search and bookmarking tool that's social. ๐๐๐ @semble.so let's you log in with your BlueSky account.

Wondering what Semble is all about and how to use it? Check out our video guides on our docs page to learn more! docs.cosmik.network/semble
my hot take is that @semble.so is on par with traditional search engines for atproto related topics (and it's only curated by people!)

Starting to get conspiratorial about how hard it is to Google atproto stuff. Why does "list of public atproto relays" not take me directly to pulsar.feeds.blue? For that matter, why does "pulsar.feeds.blue" not show up on Google whatsoever? There's no robots.txt, it's not that
Would you like an easy personal research website generator backed by @sifa.id and other atmosphere apps/data? ( @semble.so for library, @standard.site for blog, etc ) Inspired by the academicpages.github.io template all of us researchers use ๐
Sifa ID ๐ชฟ
Here's an early POC for a "personal website" run entirely on Sifa (and more atproto) data: sifa.id/p/gui.do/site (just append /site to your own profile to see it in action) You can also self-host it: github.com/singi-labs/sifa-academicpages
I've been hard at work this weekend getting both @opensocial.community and @collectivesocial.app in a better spot, and I'm excited to see where they're at! Just in time for the book club to kick off a new book ๐ What are you reading or want to read soon?
Overcommitted Podcast
We are just getting started with The Staff Engineer's Path by @whereistanya.bsky.social ! Everyone is welcome to join our book club, check it out on Collective Social at collectivesocial.app!
